    Lowe's To Sell Craftsman Tools

    I’m a guy who doesn’t step foot in Walmart, have a mix of S-K, Wright, Klein and a few other USA made tools, and end up ordering tools, clothing and a lot of other stuff from the web to ensure its quality, American made goods. My wife thinks I’m a loony zealot. She’s probably right. Sent...

    Dual stabilizer with new dynatrac PR44

    I think what these guys are saying is, if your steering and front end components are set up correctly, you shouldn't need the second stabilizer at all. People think a second one is better because more seems better. That's not always true. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Learning to Weld-- Tips for Beginners on Welding and Gear

    The bottom bead is the one that looks the best, and it doesn't tie in the base metal on the left completely. At the end of the bead, I travel to the end of joint I'm welding, then change my position to travel back into the bead I just laid down to make sure the bead is uniform. Welding is not a...

    Learning to Weld-- Tips for Beginners on Welding and Gear

    If you go to a welding supply retailer, you can buy welding jackets made of either nomex or leather to protect against wires sticking in your skin. The biggest thing is eye protection! Let me repeat that: The most important part of grinding and welding is eye protection!!

    Learning to Weld-- Tips for Beginners on Welding and Gear

    If you get flash, I've heard cucumber slices on the eyes, or cold, wet tea bags. But really, a good set of safety glasses (ANSI rated) protects the best and blocks 75% of the UV rays. And those electric arc UV rays are stronger than the UV rays from the sun. At the end of the day, if you don't...

    Learning to Weld-- Tips for Beginners on Welding and Gear

    The best for the buck are probably Speedglas, and Miller infinity or Miller Titanium. Figure anywhere from $275-$350. The Miller Titanium is a split shell hood that allows the hood to be opened sort of like a clam shell and has a 4X4.5" clear glass to grind with. Both of the above also have a...

    So, I test drove a JKU today...

    The blonde in my life keeps offering a new Jeep JKUR for me, because she hates the TJ (I think the rough ride and loud noises build character... some women are weird, but she's awesome for even thinking about offering me a new Jeep!). I test drove a JKU Sport S a couple of weeks ago. I liked...

    So, my 19 year old daughter...

    ... wants an old Cherokee as her next car. Proud papa here. I didn't even push her to want one. She says she loves the boxy look to them, wants 4x4 capability,to get around during the winter, to get to the college she's attending, and going down the shore or up to the Poconos. We're doing...

    TJ Coilovers

    So, I came across an old thread that discussed coiloverson TJs. Eddie pointed out that it could be tough to get Coilovers right on a TJ, but I'm curious if anyone has done it and had successes or failures installing them. On road drivability and comfort seem to be pluses forcoilovers, while also...

    Aluminum Vs. steel bumpers

    So, I was looking through GenRight Offroad's offerings for coil overs for my TJ (I'm still researching whether or not they'll be worth the money over a long arm system), and sort of skipped over the aluminum bumpers for the steel ones. I work with metal, and generally understand the advantages...
